Johor Bahru, West Malaysia.

The 4-Direction Buddha, also known as the 4-Face Buddha, is one of the popular god worship by many people in Southeast Asia. Originated from Thailand, a country refers as “The Land of the Buddha”. In Thailand, most altars, delties or god worship by the locals are referred to as some form of Buddha. As such, when any of these Buddha is found in other regions, they are also referred to as the same Buddha as originated from Thailand.

Setting the Buddha

The 4-Direction Buddha is generally located at the outer front section of the house near the front garden. As the house engaged Prof.CPLim for Feng Shui consultation is facing 10 degrees off the South direction, hence, the front of the Buddha is best set facing the exact 0-degree North and the back is at 180 degrees facing the Southern direction. The point for the temple to stand is already on a higher ground level, as such, the height of this stand is set at 49 inches from the existing ground level. This is to ensure that the face of the buddha is not lower than a person standing in front of him. The base for the stand is made with added firm chemical concrete to ensure total stability.

The Auspicious setting

An auspicious day and hour with blue sky and bright sunlight were selected to achieve maximum blessing. The base where the temple stands was blessed with 32 Yong-Zheng-Tong coins to symbolise wealth from four directions. The 32 coins in Feng Shui principle represent the 24 mountains and the 8-BaGua points. 5-element beans comprise green, red, yellow, white and black beans for auspicious harvest and a special blessing talisman were placed on the base.

The Auspicious sign of blessing

Orchid flowers, water and coconuts are generally offerred to the 4-Direction Buddha during praying. Approximately 45 minutes after the completion of setting the base, a mystical sign of acceptance for this setting was seen at the 4 coconuts offerred to the Buddha. 2 of the coconuts with their straws facing the Buddha appeared being drank from them. This can be seen from the picture above where the coconut shell on the left side was wet with coconut water , a drop of coconut water can also be seen on the straw flowing downward. As this was not set intentionally prior to the praying, 2 other straws were advised to turn towards the Buddha as well for blessing.
